Title: Heading to RDS... best place to park?
Post by: HowAreYeGettinOn on October 06, 2009, 11:32:31 PM
Going up from the West to the RDS this Saturday - was wondering if the great & good of this board could give me any tips for /directions to the best spot to park up in for the day? All help greatly appreciated...  :)

You could park and ride from Maynooth train station, or closer to the city you could try the Liffey Valley carpark.

Or there's the PnR at the Luas station at the Red Cow roundabout.

I always park in Beech Hill Business Park:

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=53.312605,-6.235551&num=1&t=h&sll=53.312996,-6.234757&sspn=0.003179,0.008256&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Beech+Hill,+Stillorgan,+County+Dun+Laoghaire-Rathdown,+Ireland&ll=53.312644,-6.235546&spn=0.003179,0.008256&z=18

When you come into park there is a roundabout.  If you hang a left there is no barrier and on a Saturday there is never anyone checking if you are working for any of the companies there.   Just to be sure I usually park in a space marked for visitors rather than a company one.

If the fails there are a bunch of estates across the Clonskeagh Road where you can usually find a spot.

If coming from the M50 you can come-off at Dundrum or if it is busy get off at Templeogue and come in by Milltown.
